THE SCOTCH THISTLE.

Little Minnie, in her eagerness after
flowers, had wounded her hand on the
sharp, prickly thistle.
Il do wish there was no such thing as
thistle in the world, she said, pettishly.
sand yet the Scottish nation think SO
much of it that they engrsve it on the
national arms" said her mother.
at is the last flower that should pick
out" said Minnie. 81 am sure they
could have found a great many nicer
ones even among the weeds"
But this thistle did them such good
service once" said her mother, that
they learned to esteem it very highly.
One time the Danes invaded Scotland,
and they prepared to make an attack on
sleeping garrison. So they crept along
barefooted, as still as possible, until they
were almost on the spot. Just at that
moment a barefooted soldier stepped on
great thistle, and the hurt made him
utter sharp, shrill cry of pain. The
sound awoke the sleepers, and each man
sprapg to his arms. They fought with
great bravery, and the invaders were
driven back with much loss. So, you
see, this thistle saved Scotland, and ever
since it has been placed on their seals as
their national flower"
swell, I never could suspect that SO
small thing could save nation"

A HOME MADE TELEPHONE.

To make serviceable telephone from
one farm house to another only requires
enough wire and two cigar boxes. First
select your boxes, and make hole about
half an inch in diameter in the center of
the bottom of each, and then place one OF
them in each of the houses you wish to
connect; then get five pounds Of common
iron stove pipe wire, make loop in one
end, and put it through the hole in your
cigar box, and fasten it with nail; then
draw it tight to the other box, support
ing it when necessary with stout cord
You can easily run your line into the
house by boring hole through the glass.
Support your boxes with stats nailed
across the window and your telephone is
complete. The writer has one that is two
hundred yards long, and cost forty-five
cents, that will carry music when the or
gan is playing thirty feet away in another
room.--Rur0l Canadian.

Our 9]onnD People,
For THE UNIvERsALIsT.
THE SLEIGH RIDE.
BY MRS. MARY c. billings.

Lou and Willie, see them ride,
Cuddled close to papa's side,
Nesting in the far SO warm;
What care they about the storm?
How the horses rear and prauce,
Toss their heads and gaily dance;
Now they prick their ears and go
Dashing through the falling snow.
How the sweet bells clash and jingle;
How the children's faces tingle
With the keen air as they go,
Through the flakes of falling snow.
Down the hill and up again,
Crossing bridge and over plain,
Onward, merrily they go,
Meath the quickly falling snow.
Poor old Jacob and his wife
Hard has been their lot in life
They, as seasons come and go,
Dread to see the falling snow.
Now this happy party speeds
On with comforts for their needs;
To their humble cot they go,
Driving through the falling snow.
Jacob hobbies out before
Dash and Juno reach the door,
Glad AMI thankful for the call
For the basket, bundles, all.
Joyfully they homeward ride,
Cuddled close to papa's side,
Sprinkled with the falling snow,
Back to mamma, dear, they go.
Hico, TeTds.

CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HAY
FEVER,

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that
they are due to the presence Of living
parasites in the lining membrane of the
nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic
research, however, has proved this to be
fact, and the result is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are cured in from one to three simple APP
plications made at home. A pamphlet ex-
planning this new treatment is sent free
on receipt of stamp by A. FL. Dixon & Son.

Abduction of an Armenian Girl.

A fuller account is given of distur
Dances reported from Amassia, town
eighteen hours distance from Samsoun.
1t appears from one version of the story
that the governor, Hassan Bey, Circas-
sian by birth, had planned the carrying
off of an Armenian girl beauty, with a
view of compelling her to embrace Is
lamism in order to be married to one of
his Mussulmap friends, who was enamor-
ed of her. The Armenian population
thereupon assembled to release the girl,
ana In an encounter with Turkish mob
several we're killed and wounded on both
sides. The governor then ordered that
the girl should be restored to her par
ents, but the Mussulmans are go much
irritated that the safety of the local
Christians is menaced, and further blood
shed is apprehended. Such occurrences
are not unfrequent. It is suspected that
the governor, who is said to have been in
frequent communication with Russian
emlssaries, may have had some other OBJ
ject In view in creating disorders with
the Christians. These incidents recall to
mind clause 81 Of the treaty of Berlin
respecting the safety of the Armenian
population, which has hitherto been left
IN allegiance, and it is supposed that an
intrigue if on foot for giving occasion to
refer to it. The governor, Hassan Bey,
has not yet been dismissed.

at was last winter" continued the
miner, ''when me and my partner, Jim
Rogers. was working an assessment on a
couple of old prospects of ours up in
Geneva Park, about half way between
Grant and Montezuma. Grub had given
out few days before, and while Jim
was driving the work on one-hundred-
feet level through solid rock, started
over to Montezuma for supply of grub.
Snow! Well, I should remark. And cold.
Well, if wehadn't had to have grub, moth
ing else would have got me over that seven
miles and back, but it had to come over,
and brought it. I had just got to the
cabin and fixed up supper for Jim and
me, and got the dishes on the table. I
stepped to the door to throw out some
potato parings, talking to Jim. When,
as I turned around at the door, I saw,
looking through the little window at the
side of the cabin. one Of the ugliest and
biggest bears that I ever want to see.
She was sitting up on her launches and
looking right at me, and as l turned a
little more l saw through the partly open
door two more big bears in front of the
cabin. We didn't have even dirk-knife
in the cabin, nor gun or revolver, and
the Ak was at the woodpile forty feet
from the door. and the two bears be-

was rainin' bears for minute. A good
deal quicker than I'm telling this Jump
ed for the poker that we used to fasten
the cabin door with, and slipped it into
place. Just then the old she-bear at the
window gave growl and made pass at
the window with her paw. Biff, it came,
sash, glass, and all on the Hoor. Before
the noise had stopped smash came the
other bears against the door, and it's only
a miracle that it didn't come in. The
poker was bent all out of shape. Well,
Jim and me did lots of thinking about
that time, and if ever I wanted 45-re-
peater / wanted it right then. You see,
the snow had been lying awful deep up
there, and the bears were ravenous and
most likely hadn't had anything to eat
for long time. They have to get terri
bly, hungry before they will attack a
cabin like that.
